Good morning thanks very much to the admins of this group for the great advice in letting me know the urgency of beginning the process of obtaining paperwork and marriage registration before my school contract ends next month 👍 we got the ball rolling yesterday with a roadtrip to Bangkok, applied for the affirmation and certified passport copy a few weeks ago on Gov website and appointment to do oath was quick at the Embassy and have an agency doing the translations and MFA and hopefully all posted here by midweek next week 👌and then onto to the local Amphur 💍hopefully if we are married by then we can go to Mahasarakham immigration to start the process on Monday 20th, I'm wondering if this is a standard request for them to swap the Non-B extension to a Non-O extension a few weeks before my school contract ends(October 15th) I've heard the process can take 5 weeks for Non-O based on marriage but my visa expires on November 20th so hopefully it will be ok
Any advice for us to get prepared will be greatly appreciated 🙏🙏
